"Gaming" computers are almost always stocked with a speedy hard-drive and a great graphics card.
My dad just got me an HP, stock, from Circuit City. I had bad experiences previously with HP, but this has been a
great computer. Huge hard drives, an expansion bay for more memory, superb graphics card, virtually no delay between applications, tv capabilities. I've had no issues with it and its literally been a dream to own it. Vista is actually a decent operating system and I also haven't had problems with most programs transferring over to it. Oh, the new office is pretty swell too. Here's the PC I have:

I also love how getting a high-quality desktop isn't nearly as expensive as it used to be. My laptop cost more then my desktop!
If you have more specific questions about the functionality of my desktop, feel free to ask. Happy computer shopping, I'm a nerd so I had a lot of fun looking for one.
